Money shot

Yes. Car arrived last Sunday morning.

Nice, Them boys always had some nice looking cars, no matter the class they ran in

Keep in mind if using an airbrush you can get away with more coats . Rattle cans ,,,IMO not so much

Sweet

I THINK Competition resin makes one. whats the difference between 63 and 64 hoods ?

Yea, I think I'll keep her. I might as well,,,,,,, She has put up with me for the better part of 30 years now. We've been without old iron in the garage for several years. And actually started looking a couple years ago, Almost bought a 67 GTX in late fall of 2017 , but the cross country move idea was starting to brew in our heads . So any potential car purchase got put on hold. My original budget for a car was in the 30k range . So When I told her I wanted to up the budget for THIS car I thought she was gonna shoot me. Luckily she didnt and it took me a while to get her to sign off on it. But I WILL be remodeling our master bath once I retire next year , and possibly install all new tile floors in the house ( AKA the schmoozing begins ) its ALL good on our end , and I got the call this morning . Passport Transport picked it up this morning from Cincinnati Ohio. . So,,,it should be here sometime next week or so I think . And I can hardly wait . Once in the garage I will be spending several weekends in there cleaning this one up,,,,,,,due to its been sitting in storage for almost 2 years

at approx 5 miles per gal, and a mix of race gas with premium, THAT would be a very expensive day . I do plan to drive it quite a bit. Im not sure it will be quite THAT much

I just bought a 1966 Plymouth Satellite , 2 door hardtop. 426 hemi, console auto. 3.54 Dana rear axle Real Hemi car in its original color combination of black with red interior . Which is my dream color combination bar none. It belonged to a very good, and long time friend of mine. He bought it as a rolling project in 1998 , He already had a correct dated Hemi for the car . It was restored over the following few years and was completed in 2004-2005 time frame. I actually helped restore the car and asked him many years ago if it ever went up for sale, PLEASE let me have a shot at it . When he called last year to honer that. I was flabbergasted to say the least . And its taken me the better part of the past 10-12 months to get in a position to make this kind of purchase. ( Its took some serious schmoozing of the wife to give her ok ) Needless to say this one turned my piggy bank inside out Its had a whopping 800 miles put on it since it was completed . All OEM sheet metal car, never any rust or accidents. Passport Transport picks it up tomorrow morning. Should be here in about a week ,,,plus or minus a few days one way or the other

This is what I want to replicate. I dont need absolute dead on perfect just as close as I can reasonably get

I need it to replicate a 1968 belvedere bench seat. Want to convert the revell gtx to a baseline Belvedere RO race hemi car

The one in the lower right hand corner in this picture

Im guessing 57 Chevy based on the hood ornaments

I seem to remember many years the same thing was said about a 55 or 56 Chrysler 300. same goes for a 1965 Satellite. I would love to have a 55-56 Mercury, but I'm not holding my breath for it either Maybe just MAYBE a 68 Coronet or 71-72 Demon will materialize one day

Need address. I have a hood. Custom grill and tail gate for the stepside bed version

Steve. I converted a revell 69 dart into a 68 (before the 68 kit came out) several years back using the aluminum tubing trick. Works like a charm. Just glued the tubing in place and once the car was painted i polished the aluminum tube to look like chrome. Lenses are just elmers glue in the tube and painted with testors clear red.

I think i have a hood for one of these. Will ck

Where do I sign up

OK, I will ck later this week to see if I have one or not

I was in the one near me yesterday and same deal... ..just NOTHING i felt i had to take home.

Look for this set https://www.ebay.com/p/2255308946

Hard for.me to say. I like quite a few. But...to play along i would say the Revell Thunderbolt.

Give me a day to ck. But. I might have extra ft and rear chome for a 1961 Ford Galaxie if you need it

About your only choice is the 55-56 Chrysler 300 keep in mind the seat pattern will be different. Im not sure if there was ever an interior in those kits

Ive always been under the assumption the 1st Grumpys Vega built was stock floor pan and front suspension from the back of the doors forward. basically only the rear suspension was heavily modified / scratchbuilt
